Mourn Me Not For I Live On Part I of IV

Today I am showing a piece called “Mourn Me Not For I Live On.” This was originally written on commission to commemorate the life of a well-loved and very accomplished father, grandfather and husband. He and his wife traveled quite a bit, and this poem commemorated that aspect of his life, and their life together. It was etched on a wooden plaque and placed next to the photos at his memorial service. People were very touched, I am told. This has n0w been etched on picture matting with room for a photo of the person being honored. I think it works for almost anyone. I hope you like it.

Mourn Me Not For I Live On (Part I)

Mourn me not for I live on;

there are places still to go.

I’ve been blessed so many ways

and ways I don’t yet know.

Life has changed but is not gone—

mourn me not for I live on.

I’ve traveled many highways—

there are many roads to roam.

But on every road I traveled,

I mapped my way back home.

I took those roads to wondrous sites,

to their wondrous ends.

Still I loved to come back home

to family and friends.

That means that you will never know everything, but you need to recognize that there are things you need to learn and know, even if you don't know what they are yet! Good luck to all graduates!

This is necessary to clear the shopping cart and the selection boxes. I will try to find out if there is a fix for this, but for now the above should work. If not, contact me.
